This is what the new Volvo V90 looks like, the most beautiful estate car on the market

For months now, the look of the new generation of Volvo‘s largest estate has been circulating online through renders, spy photos and thumbnails.

However, it is only now that the first official photos of the brand -still leaked- have come to light. This is the new Volvo V90, the estate version of the S90.

Volvo has a great tradition in the field of estate models. Who does not remember models such as the 740 Wagon or the 960 Estate, the latter being the spiritual heir of the model we present today. Volvo has always been associated with estate cars that are safe and large, and the new V90 fulfils these three premises to perfection.

The V90 is the estate version of the S90, which in turn is the new global saloon from the Swedish firm, replacing the S80, a hugely successful model with many years of experience in the executive saloon segment. Now, the S90 enters the arena with a finely honed design, becoming a real alternative to the well-known premium brands.

As expected, the people at Volvo have decided to make the V90 the perfect alternative to the S90 for those hypothetical customers who need an extra dose of space and do not want to give up a carefully crafted design, and while from the B-pillar onwards the V90 and the S90 are identical, the designers’ treatment of the rear end has been impeccable in the case of the V90. Personally, I find the rear of the V90 more attractive than that of the S90, although when it comes to tastes…

The design of the V90 is very well considered. It is possibly one of the most harmonious estate cars on the market

The rear of the V90 shows very defined lines with large L-shaped light clusters that extend quite far into the tailgate rather than being limited to the extremes. The boot lid has an unusual inclination for a Volvo estate model, which nevertheless gives the overall design much more dynamism, limiting the “squared-off look” of the vehicle.

Inside, we find the same cabin as in the S90 except for an extra dose of space in the rear. This means carefully finished lines and very well-chosen materials. Mechanically, the V90 will share engines and transmissions with the S90, offering as the top of the range a T8 hybrid variant with a little over 400 CV of total power output.
